Introduction: Life’s Busy. Let’s Slow Down.
Life doesn’t stop. There’s work, chores, and notifications that never end. I used to feel like I was always behind. But now, I’ve found a way to make each day feel lighter. I call it "A Day in My Life: Skincare, Work, and Self-Care"—and it’s honestly changed everything.
This isn’t some perfect routine. It’s what helps me feel calm, take care of my skin, stay on track with work, and still have time to just be. No pressure, just progress.
Morning Routine: The Start of A Day in My Life: Skincare, Work, and Self-Care
Start Simple: Water + Gratitude
My day starts with warm lemon water. It’s a small habit that makes a big difference. I sometimes add a pinch of Himalayan salt for an extra mineral boost. While sipping, I open my journal and write one thing I’m thankful for. It could be anything—a cozy blanket, a kind text, or even a good hair day.
Story Snippet: One morning, I wrote “my soft blanket” in my gratitude journal. That small comfort made getting out of bed easier on a tough day.
Skincare That Feels Good
Next comes skincare. It wakes me up and helps me feel ready. My routine is simple:
- Foaming Cleanser – Leaves my skin soft
- Vitamin C Serum – Brightens me up, even if I’m running on four hours of sleep
- Gel Moisturizer – Light, quick-absorbing, no stickiness
- SPF 50+ – Always. Even on cloudy days. Especially then

My Desk Setup
As the day gets going, my workspace becomes my corner of focus. It’s not fancy. Just a small desk with a plant, a salt lamp, headphones, and my paper to-do list. I follow the Pomodoro technique—work for 25 minutes, then take a short break. That little timer saves my brain from spiraling.
Story Snippet: I thought breaks were lazy. But without them, I’d crash by 2 p.m. A five-minute stretch now keeps me going strong.
Quick Skincare Pick-Me-Up
When tasks start stacking, I reset with a spritz of rosewater mist and a dab of powder SPF. It’s quick, smells great, and keeps my skin protected.
Why I Love It:
- Feels refreshing
- Keeps me sun-safe
- Gives me an excuse to pause

Little Breaks, Big Difference
When the afternoon hits, my energy dips. That’s when small resets save the day. I might step outside, stretch, drink something warm, or write down a small win.
Story Snippet: I used to eat lunch at my desk. One day, I spilled green tea on my keyboard. After that, I started taking real breaks—and my focus actually improved.
Easy Tips That Help Me Recharge
Some tiny tricks that help me feel human again:
- Stand up every hour. Dance around if you’re feeling it
- Keep a few facial wipes at your desk
- Drink water before and after calls (saves your throat and your skin)

My Night Skincare Steps
At night, I like to press pause. My skin routine is my way of telling my brain, "we’re done for the day."
- Oil Cleanser – Wipes off makeup and grime
- Toner with AHA/BHA – Makes my skin feel clean and smooth
- Niacinamide Serum – Helps calm down redness and texture
- Ceramide Cream – So thick and cozy, it’s like a blanket for my skin
Quick Tip: Always pat your products in. No rubbing. Trust me.
Self-Care Before Sleep
After skincare, I dim the lights. I’ll jot down a few wins, turn on soft music, and put my phone away. Some nights, I light a candle. Just because.
Story Snippet: I used to fall asleep scrolling. One night I tried music instead. Best sleep I’d had in months. That little change stuck.
